Mary's Music
a quote from another thread said .............
"I remember buying the record at Mary's music on Whalley Rd."
....was that the place adjacent to the motor-cycle shop which sold Lambretta and Vespa parts ? opposite a Lion pub , (The Hope and Anchor ?) I also remember a great pub up one of the streets behind there somewhere, I think somewhere near Emerson and Renwicks , had one of the best jukeboxes in town ......this would be the late 60's, it was part of our Friday night crawl

Re: Mary's Music
The pub with the jukebox could it be the New Brewery Inn?, The motorbike shop no longer sells Vespa and Lambretta parts, it is all Japanese stuff now. The Hope and Anchor is still going strong!

Re: Mary's Music
Thanks Mick and Cashman for the info
Yep , it was the New Brewery I was thinking of , looking at the pub link site it seems some of the towncenter pubs have been renamed.
There used to be (maybe still is)another good pub in the area behind the Canine club ,Plantation st area, if I remember it was on a street parallel to Abbey st. could have been a Massey house
Is the Antley still in business (corner of Newark st. and Blackburn rd.) near to the Accy/Church border ?
thank John

Re: Mary's Music
Are you thinking of the Old House At home on Melbourne Street, opposite the old Manchester bus stop? That was a Masseys House. Alternatively it could be the Queens, but I don't think that was ever a Masseys House, was it?
The Antley is long gone - last time I went past it, it was a muslim girl's school. Another sad loss is the Block - what a cracking pub that was when Joyce and Eddie Berry had it!

Re: Mary's Music
I used to go to my Gran's in Sheffield for the school hols.....we would go down to Melbourne St to catch the Manchester bus well too early....Gran would leave me at the bus stop with the bags and nip into the Old House at Home for a pint of mild. I was always told not to tell my mum about this little trick of hers....my reward...half a crown bribery money.
Gran used to say that the mild was good for her kidneys....well it must have been because she was always busting for a P when we got to the bus station at Manchester!

Re: Mary's Music
What about corners as well? that used to be on our crawl after Hope and Anchor and Broadway, don`t really remember corners that much, hmm maybe my memory was impaired by the alcohol?
Mary`s music - used to love browsing through the singles there, and you used to be able to play the older ones to 'check' it was the one you wanted. I think all my mid 80`s records came from there, and what was the other one called was it Reidy`s? up near top of little blackburn Road?
